I’m back from Renegade - what a weekend! The weather was crazy (tornado warnings, wind gusts, rain, sweltering heat) but it was a great time and I loved meeting so many new people and getting the chance to spend time with old friends. The new products are up, click here to shop! I still have to upload the new button sets but almost everything is there. And let me know what you think - what’s your favorite?
Renegade is this weekend, Saturday and Sunday, 11am-7pm, in Brooklyn at McCarren Park! It has been a busy few weeks finishing up all of the brand new products I’ve been making (you can see some peeks over on my Twitter). I will be sharing a space with the lovely and talented Caitlin Keegan - we are booth # 127, right next to the Etsy tents! I will have all the new items posted to my Etsy shop by Tuesday the 8th, so for those of you not in Brooklyn, stay tuned. Above is a new 3-color screen print that is making its debut at the fair. Have a lovely weekend!
I’m off to NYC and the Javits for Surtex 2010 that runs May 16-18th. If you’re there you can pick up this free button set and find me at Lilla Rogers booth #251-253 helping out, as well as fellow artists Jillian Phillips, Susy Ultman, Xenia Taler, and Mati McDonough. Hope to see you there!
Hello hello, it has been a while. I’ve been keeping busy with new work for Surtex (this weekend!) and the Brooklyn Renegade Craft Fair (June 5 + 6). Above is some new work on the newsstands now for Town & Country and Family Circle. I love doing maps, Art directors out there, I’m available!
I owe a lot to Giant Robot - they have been an amazingly supportive entity of independent artists and I have had the opportunity over the years to participate in numerous gallery shows in their New York, San Francisco and Los Angeles locations. GR started as a magazine - and still is - and like many other publications they have been hit hard by the recession. The magazine is in some serious financial trouble, recently they put up a website where they are accepting donations. So - to do my part, however small, I am putting up this Sleepy Owl piece up for sale and all proceeds will go towards a donation to Giant Robot. Hopefully I won’t embarrass myself and one of you will be willing to purchase it! Send me an email if interested to make further arrangements.
Sleepy Owl is cut paper mounted on white painted wood, measures 5″ x 7″. Price $65, including shipping. Sold! Thanks so much to Daisy Ha and Sam Kim! Other original cut paper art is available on my Etsy shop right here.
Here’s a mockup of my Chirping Birds case for Uncommon, a print-on-demand iPhone case company. Click here to check out the rest of the Artist Series artwork from Uncommon… They selected some great artists to work with like Jill Bliss, Jenny Hart, Saelee Oh, and Sian Keegan to name a few!
I can’t believe I was in New York for 3 exciting days and did not take any pictures! It was a great trip - I was at Printsource at the Lilla Rogers booth with Lilla and Susan and artists Jillian Phillips and Susy Pilgrim Waters. It was so great to spend time chatting with all of them as well as meeting so many interesting people from different companies that I love and admire! I have so many new ideas and projects I want to work on that my head is spinning. My husband Eric came with me on the trip and in the evenings we got to spend some much needed time with best friends and eat some amazing food. I had one of the best meals EVER at Caravan of Dreams - a vegan/vegetarian restaurant on the corner of 1st ave and 6th st.
Above is a peek at a new t-shirt design I put into a digital mock-up - trying to decide whether or not to get it printed! Anyone else out there a Southpaw (aka Left-handed)?
EDIT: Southpaw is up for scoring now on Threadless! Click here to vote!
I wish everyone the best this holiday season - I will be busy spending time with family, finishing up new work for Printsource in January and playing hours and hours of Super Mario Bros (on my new Wii)! I will be back blogging (on a much more regular basis) after the new year!
First of a few fun projects that I have been working on that I can now finally share: my first Target Gift Card! It was a such a great experience to work with them. Let me know what you think and if you see my card in the stores!
